Description
When we hear the word “holocaust”, we immediately remember the dark days, the blood, the people, and the pain that no words can express. This huge event, daunting as it can be, left a mark in the lives of the people who experienced it and even those who have only heard of it. The Nazis not only brought destruction, but they brought an unforgettable scar amongst the human race. At those times, the victims would have called for a savior, someone who could literally take them out from the hell they were living in.

Janalyn Prude –
It never ceases to amaze me the courage people show even though they were in no obligation to help the persecuted. This book is full of stories of Polish residents that helped the Jewish neighbor survive the holocaust. They also have a few stories about those who did the complete opposite, but it only makes those who showed gods humanity that much better. It’s books like this that should be given to high school students as mandatory reading and teach our younger generation what true selflessness and generosity looks like. To put yourself and your family‘s life on the line to help another is what God expects from us, but not everyone does. I highly recommend this book to those who love history and a book that leaves you with a good feeling. This was an excellent read.
